Expanding the Kingdom of God in War Torn Middle East

By October 8, 2019No Comments

L. and T. are from the very first Hispanic church that I mentored in our Global Focus process, both were single adults in the youth ministry at the time. As Ekklesia began to make major paradigm shifts and their people became not only passionate about missions, but began to personally participate in missions. L. helped start an ESL program in order to reach the unreached in their local Washington D.C. area. God used him and T. to share the Word of God and make disciples locally. Today they are serving in a war torn area of the Middle East with Syrian refugee’s. Even though they have only been on the field for a little more that half a year, they are already learning Arabic (a very difficult language) and intentionally investing in relationships and making disciples. 

L. and T. are discipling several new believers, but what is more important is that these new believers are taking them to others and they are able to present Christ to them also, and they too are now being discipled. So they are teaching them to multiply! That is the way that the Kingdom of God expands, even into dark and difficult areas of the world.
